  • Continuously refine interaction details, polish, and usability.

  • Help define the future of AI-native creative tools.

Requirements

  • Strong full stack engineering skills (React, TypeScript, backend frameworks).

  • Exceptional product sense and attention to UX details .

  • Experience building creative tools. Can become an expert in creative technology in AI video production.

  • Strong intuition for what makes a product feel simple, powerful, and delightful.

  • Startup mindset: high ownership, high agency, high velocity.

  • Nice-to-have

  • Love films and art.

  • You are a creator yourself : filmmaker, video editor, animator, designer, or similar.

  • Have experience in AI video generation.
